About this item
In this gothic debut novel, perfect for fans of Tread of Angels and Gail Carriger's Soulless, Miss Radhika Dhingra, a newly minted lawyer in 19th century New York, never expected that her first client would be a vampire accused of murder.. Having a resident vampire is just the thing for upper-class New Yorkers-besides being a status symbol, they make excellent butlers or housekeepers. The only thing they require in return is a drop or two of blood and a casket to shut out the dawn's early light. . Tolerated by society only if they follow a strict set of rules, vampires are seen as "less than"-and as the daughter of immigrants, Radhika knows firsthand how this feels. Accused of murder, her undead client Mr. Evelyn More, knows that the cards are stacked against him.
